12 Best American Restaurants in Kentwood

“Wow! My wife and I celebrated our 16 year wedding anniversary here tonight. The food, absolutely amazing! Drinks, amazing! But what I really want to rave about is how wonderful their service and hospitality was. We had a lovely hand written note at our table wishing us a happy anniversary. Multiple people told us happy anniversary. Our server, Ericka, she was real genuine and nice and at the end of our dinner she brought us a vase of flowers. This was hands down the best dining experience we have had. Thanks for making this an enjoyable and rememberable night for us.“

“Massive value and super positive service!

- Double Hamburger (with cheese) - $5.89 + 0.50: VERY delicious and huge (quarter for scale)! Worth every penny and then some.

The patty is about a quarter pound each and is medium quality. It is juicy and seasoned with salt just right. The cheese was forgotten originally, but was corrected. The burger was so hot that the cheese had no problem melting after being covered with the foil and was my favorite part (despite the mistake).

The toppings are good, but the lettuce was just a tad wilted. The sauces were in just the right proportions, too. The only two things I’d change are more preferences and very minor. I’m not a big fan of sesame seed buns. Also, the lettuce would be better shredded.

- Fries: Purchased separately by my daughter and I did not get the price. They were smaller to medium cut and cooked to perfection (and hot!). The texture was spot with a cripy outside and fluffy inside. They were seasoned with salt.

- Service: Some of the best service I’ve had in a long time. They were SUPER positive and greet everyone cheerfully. This is probably their best asset, but definitely not the only one. They love what they do and are really engaged.

- Atmosphere: Old diner kind of feel but without the frills. Just your average place. It was clean on the inside. Even then, the staff was going around checking to make sure it was kept clean. The outside looks a bit run down, but the inside is plenty welcoming and ready for anything.

Also note that it looks like they have old style service at your car, but that is actually just parking. They do have a picnic table under the roof, though. It could be nice in the summer (I visited in winter, HA HA).

- Conclusion: It was probably the best money I spent on a burger in a long time. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Visited on a Saturday at 3pm.

Parking: Decent amount of parking. The loop around the back for the drive-thru was tight, uneven, and needs repair.“

“Great experience with ordering takeout. We normally would dine in but had to get home after running some errands, so we ordered online. Everything was perfectly prepared and packaged well for the drive. All the extras were there in abundance: butter and sour cream for the baked potato, dressing for the salad, lemon wedges for the salmon, and of course, BISCUITS! Our meals were both delicious. Great job, Team Kentwood!“

“City BBq has some of the best food I had on 28th street. They also know how to make sure their customers are satisfied. During my last few visits I was lucky enough to have Dialo an employee who always makes sure customers are satisfied with their meal and service! Highly recommend this place.“

“I didn't have a problem getting a table on April 7th, 2022. It was my 49th birthday! Chocolate cake and ice cream and subs and Cobb salad and salmon was really good! I wish u get more tokens for $35.00 but my twin boy's and I had a blast! I give Dave & buster out in Kentwood, a perfect 10! AAPlus! I wish Dave and buster could give better deals on buying tokens. Please!“

“We both ordered omelets with hash browns. There was so much food that it covered the plates. I ordered tea and they gave a nice selection of tea bags.
The omelets were so big we couldn't finish them. They were very big! And tasted wonderful! I went back there with friends and ordered the mushroom burger which also was very good. Good food and service!“

“Typical hotel bar/restaurant, with decent food and a good selection of cocktails.Service was excellent during my multiple visits. The bartender Kim deserves recognition, very professional, she mixes great drinks and is always prompt and polite.“

“Our waitress was the bomb. Forgot her name but the good was phenomenal!“

“yes it's a good place to dine at just need a little more attention on the cleaning especially late evening! stopped in today about 8:45p floors not swept potatoes all smashed on floor napkins thrown underneath.“

“I always enjoy their food. If I'm going to a fast food restaurant, it's almost always Steak and shake. The atmosphere kinda sucks, only because the tables are typically sticky and dirty. So are the floors. But what do you expect when you serve ice cream and there are always small children around?

Garlic burger for the win. Always.“

“Our server today was awesome! Her name was Rebecca and she went above and beyond to make our dining experience great. She was not only super knowledgeable about the menu and was able to make suggestions, but she really took the time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. It's been awhile since we had been to a Denny's but it was just so nice to see that there are still hard working and compassionate servers that go the extra mile. We will definitely be back!“
